A luxury resort in the Laurel Highlands with championship golf, a wildlife academy, an art collection, and a private airstrip.
Nemacolin (formerly Nemacolin Woodlands) lies near Farmington, beside Fort Necessity, and covers about 800 hectares. It is one of the best-known luxury resorts in the United States, with several hotels (including the castle-style Chateau), several fine-dining restaurants, a spa, two championship golf courses, a small ski slope, a shooting range, and off-road vehicle programs. Its Wildlife Academy houses bears, lions, and other animals, and offers guided tours. The resort features an extensive art collection displayed throughout the property.
